There's going to be magic at Flash Forward.
No, seriously.
Magic.
Like, by a magician. Magic tricks.
Magician Jamy Ian Swiss will be hosting the Film Festival.
Jamy Ian Swiss, a New York native, has been awing audiences across the country since the ripe age of 29 earning recognition along the lines of “one of the most masterly sleight of hand techniques in the world†(New Yorker). It has also been said that Swiss possesses a “finely tuned sense of the absurd†(Washington Post) which is why we’re confident he’ll just fit in with our crowd so smashingly.
Swiss so brilliantly combines his love of magic and fantasy, his appreciation for humor and his passion for presentation, that we have no doubt he will leave the audience dumbfounded with disbelief and paralyzed with hysteria.
My first Flash Forward Film Festival was in 2003. It opened with one of those human beat box guys. That was … interesting.
This year, I’m preparing to be dumbfounded and paralyzed. 🙂
